On the Cdn site if you put in the ship & date all Canada/New England  cruises show up for Sept 2025. I sure if you wait a day or two the cruises will all show up.

Thanks... that's a good sign... no luck on my end at this point.  They have probably taken them off line to raise prices before another sale... haha

I agree but very happy we have 2 full days in Quebec City as it is wonderful there.

Are you using a Celebrity Canada site?  I don't see any cruises out of Boston for Sept 2025 on the US site.

They are there now, we are booked on the Sept 18, 2025 out of Boston.  We now depart Quebec City at 6 pm instead of 3pm after an overnight which is great.

Thanks for the info... we're also on that cruise!  Will have to keep an eye on it and see if anything else changes.

Thanks - it sounds easy - every time I’ve previously disembarked from Vancouver I’ve gotten a rental car.  I’d rather take a cab than do the HAL transfer.

Just know that the queue for cabs can be VERY long, depending on how many ships are in port and what time you disembark.  Plan accordingly...

I went ahead and applied for the teachers discount.  They did apply the $100 to my sailing in May. I also have 4 more sailings. Can I get the discount on other sailings ? When the mariner lady tried to apply it for the October sailing it said that it had been used. Do I need to apply again for each sailing? Is it only once a year like the AARP?  

Please help

Thank you

Did you have to provide any documentation?  Didn't know about this...

Nothing Comes Close to the outrageous prices Celebrity charges for a solo cabin...

We always book SV cabins as well... but several times the lovely balcony was unusable due to weather... either way too hot or very windy and cold.  It's just a love of the wake view... and not being bothered by movement if the seas are a bit rocky.

I check it all of the time while on board.  The last night I get a hard copy of the account, if that is right then I stop by on my way out and get one more hard copy......pain in the butt? Yep but when the "final" comes in my email with $36 and some change in mini bar charges I am ready to call and get it fixed.  It was a 10 minute call, including the wait time and the "we are so sorry"s.....I never ever even open the mini bar........

We also take a quick phone pic when boarding and again in the morning before debark… have had various mini bar charges several times.

Have had very little luck with that email... usually end up calling... lol

Is it possible to get a kettle in a balcony cabin?

we like a coffee when we wake and not when room service decided to come.

thanks

Have always been able to get one… just ask your steward.

I hadn’t thought of that. The cruise is very port intensive (12 days, 6 ports, one overnight) and it’s on Celebrity so I thought there may not be that many kids. But it is the summer in Europe so there probably will be lots of families. Certainly something to consider, thanks 

We did that cruise last August and it was wonderful… yes, there were some kids, but nothing like Thanksgiving or Xmas holiday sailings.  We try to avoid vacation times, so were a little worried… but not a problem at all.

Thanks, will do some more searching but I am not seeing where the additional Elite discount is coming off the price when it is in the cart.

You must call to get the Elite discount… the flash sales are not combinable, but generally the normal sales are.  Read the fine print very carefully and all the way thru… generally says whether it is combinable.

A few months back there was talk of the Elite discount coming up in the planner, but we have had several cruises since that rumor and have never seen it on ours.  Does seem like an easy thing for them to do… lol… but Celebrity IT does have lots of issues.

They were on Reflection in early January… enjoy seeing them!

I was just wondering about getting a couple of bottles of water to take back to the cabin?

will they give you one or two?

No problem…

Has anyone stayed in sunset cabins on deck 8 of the Summit? Concerned about noise level from Sunset Bar on deck 10

Several times… no noise at all… our favorite deck!

Our SS had no handle on the outside..

Well, there's our answer... never been in a suite, so would not know that.  Interesting...

Yes I'd be interested to know what ship this was on, S class ships sliding doors don't have locks that could do that, at least I don't remember any.

Correct… we always have 3 sunset veranda cabins in a row… with the partitions open you can walk next door and just open the slider from outside. Have not had this issue on any class of ship… maybe different door styles in various locations?

Thinking of trying Celebrity, and the Reflection looks good for 2025 to Aruba

Cruised on NCL ( 10x) and Royal (2x) before

I see good reviews and some bad

We are not big foodies, go to some shows and enjoy the islands

what is your Opinion of this ship compared to the other lines

Thanks

 

 

We have been on NCL, HAL, Princess, but mostly Royal and Celebrity.  Just got off Reflection a week ago and found everything to be great.  No complaints except a lack of servers walking around in bar and buffet areas... which didn't really make a big difference to us. Normal cabins have not been totally redone but were very clean... maybe needing an upholstery refresh on the couch.  Would not hesitate to cruise on Reflection again.  

Just returned from 8 nt ABC on Reflection and we changed the clocks to port time.

I want to send an email to an executive at Celebrity alerting them to the situation with Brazil visas.

 I am not asking to get involved with an individual visa situation or the visa criteria.

 Brazil has delayed their visa until April 10th.   The website does not work. The visa was supposed to be required January 10th but the last minute Brazil delayed it.

 I am asking celebrity to work with their colleagues and other cruise lines and airlines to push Brazil to either immediately fix the ability to apply for the visa or to postpone the visa until such time as the website works.

 The only topic of conversation in the Roll Call On Brazil affected cruises is the visa.  It puts incredible stress on passengers.

 So whom do you suggest I write to and what is their email?

THANK YOU!!

First suggestion would be ExecutiveOffice@celebrity.com.  I have found them to be quite responsive.  Other suggestion is Lhodges-bethge@celebritycruises.com.  Good luck!

Just off Reflection yesterday and no tote bag… asked steward and he said they are by request only… we were in sunset veranda… may be different in suite category… very cheap tan canvas with no zipper or pockets but did what it was supposed to do.

Hi,

 

I purchased a future booking certificate onboard in July 2023 and made a reservation a few weeks later.  My OBBC was $150 in a veranda cabin for an 8 day cruise.  I am now changing that cabin to an Aqua cabin.  I believe the OBB credit should increase to $250 for this cruise but a Celebrity agent said that isn’t so.  Can anyone confirm what the current terms are? 

Just got this on Reflection tonite…

We rented a car for much less than that… it was great to drive around on our own and see what we wanted to se, get some lunch, etc.

Koningsdam is a beautiful ship. 

Thanks! We got a great deal and the premium Have It All, or wharever they call it.  Agree that it’s time to branch out and see what else is out there.  We have cruised Princess, NCL, and HAL a while back on older ships, so we’ll see how it goes.
